Perfect Putrified Pumpkin

By
Real Estate Agent with Jameson Sotheby's International Realty

Condo living.  You gotta love it.

"Hey!" says the owner of the condo on the 9th floor, overlooking the 1st floor outdoor patio 8 floors beneath him. "I don't like the way the decaying pumpkin looks on their private patio.  Can the board please ask them to remove the rotting pumpkin?"

The owner of the first floor condo with the private patio with the rotting pumpkin says: "                   ".

I don't blame him.

The board did send a request to the first floor unit-owner, asking for the removal of the vintage pumpkin, and the 1st floor owner complied.

Sorry but I'm giggling.  We toss ours into the woods at first light on November 1st and the deer eat them.

Good morning Alan. Nice when association members cooperate. 9 floors up, must have been quite the stink! Enjoy your day!

no smell at all... they just didn't care for how it looked.

And the important things in life are taken care of by a Board of Directors. I probably would have designed a catapult . . . or an oversized spud gun.

she's got about 1,500 square feet of very private patio (excepting, of course, for the 9th floor peepers).

So little eagel eye can clearly see a rotting pumpkin from the 9th floor et?  They must have a telescope - geez. Picky.

I would't be surprised if they're using a telescope.

That’s life in the condo lane. I hope I never have to go there.
